Tribal Enrollment

The Wichita and Affiliated Tribe Enrollment Office is
responsible for the processing of all enrollment applications by
researching individual applicants' family lineage, establishing
Wichita blood degree, and the subsequent creation of their Wichita
family tree. The Enrollment office also provides statistical data
and individual membership information to our various tribal
programs as needed and maintains the addresses of all tribal
members for tribal elections and the mailing of newsletters.

Tribal members may request copies of their C.D.I.B. (Certificate
of Degree of Indian Blood) cards, social security cards, or birth
certificates from their enrollment files by written request
only. C.D.I.B. cards are free but tribal Photo ID
cards are currently $5.00 each. Any name changes to enrollment
information must be substantiated by legal documentation such as
marriage or divorce decrees, legal name changes or adoption
papers.
